FAQs

What is the recommended spacing for these fascia brackets?

The standard recommendation is a maximum of 1m (1000mm) centers. However, in areas prone to heavy snowfall, it is advised to reduce this spacing to a maximum of 800mm, or even as close as 400mm, to support the extra weight.

What type of screws should I use to install the bracket?

We recommend using two countersunk screws, specifically 5 x 25mm or 5 x 30mm, for securing the bracket to the fascia board.

Does the bracket come with all necessary fixings?

The bracket comes with a pre-fitted gutter seal retaining clip. However, you will need to provide your own suitable countersunk screws for mounting the bracket to the fascia board.

Is this bracket suitable for all types of gutter systems?

This bracket is specifically designed for FloPlast Hi-Cap gutter systems and is suitable for high flow capacity applications. It may not be compatible with other brands or types of gutters.

How do I clean the cast iron effect finish?

The cast iron effect finish can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

Can these brackets be used on older properties?

Yes, the cast iron effect finish can provide a traditional aesthetic that complements older properties. Ensure the fascia board is sound for secure installation.

Troubleshooting

Gutter does not clip securely into the bracket

Ensure the back edge of the gutter is fully engaged in the rear clip before attempting to clip the front edge. Check for any obstructions or debris in the bracket or gutter.

Bracket appears loose after installation

Verify that the correct type and length of screws (5 x 25mm or 5 x 30mm countersunk) were used and tightened securely into the fascia board. Ensure the fascia board itself is sound and provides adequate fixing strength.

Water pooling or leaking at bracket points

Check that the gutter seal retaining clip is properly engaged and holding the seal firmly. Inspect the gutter and bracket for any cracks or damage that might cause leaks. Ensure the gutter has the correct fall towards the downpipe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Secure the Bracket: Position the fascia bracket onto the fascia board. Use two countersunk screws (FloPlast recommends 5 x 25mm or 5 x 30mm) to firmly attach the bracket.
  2. Clip in Gutter: Align the gutter system with the bracket. Slide the back edge of the gutter into the rear clip first. Gently pull the front edge of the gutter down until it audibly clips into place, securing the gutter.

  • This bracket is designed for use with FloPlast Hi-Cap gutter systems.
  • It is suitable for high flow capacity gutter applications.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect brackets for any signs of wear or damage.
  • Clean gutters and brackets periodically to remove debris that could cause blockages or undue stress.
